Navy Seal sets new Guinness World Record for most pullups in 24 hours
Navy seal, David Goggins, is one of the most unique individuals you will ever meet. He has served in the US military for the past 20 years as an Army Ranger, Air Force Tactical Controller, and Navy Seal. He was named World's Fittest Real Man by Outside Magazine and was featured on the cover of Runner's World. He has run over 200 miles at one time along with many other ultra/endurance races. His latest achievement was setting a new Guinness World Record for most pullups in 24 hours. In a little over 17 hours, David accomplished 4,030 dead-hang pullups...a different type of endurance event, but as he will tell you, it proved to be the most difficult. By participating in these events, David has been able to raise thousands of dollars for the Special Ops Warrior Foundation, a charitable organization which supports families of fallen special operators. David has had to overcome numerous adversities on his journey to success, such as battling sickle-cell anemia, making it through three HELL weeks, having two heart surgeries, and losing 100 pounds in preparation for Navy Seal training. He developed a mental toughness curriculum which he uses when speaking to prospective Seals, college, and professional athletes nation-wide. He wants to share his story of how his ability to approach every aspect of his life with mental toughness led to his successes today.
